Hello, Charles.
I was using Firefox 2.x (Windows, Linux), Opera 9.x (Windows, Linux), Internet Explorer. Everything was working fine except for 1 annoying bug in the latest release that's denies to login on Firefox.
I don't think that browser names should be displayed in the requirements, because there are a lot of differences in the browsers engine realization (even in the same family). The key here is to specify generic functionality that is used in the Roundcube that at least must be supported in order to work. If we’ll add some browser’s names to the list it would mean that we’ll give support obligations to the community to 100% support for these browsers and it wouldn’t be right. My advice is to keep things like they are now – if your browser is supporting specified functions in the requirement it should work, if it’s supporting and not working – create ticket and we’ll try to investigate the problem.
I agree that there is should be a list with the browsers that were reported as working/non-working but definitely not in the requirements section but may be at the bottom of the page.
Regards, Andris
